Max Verstappen scored 9.5/10 for a dominant weekend despite a poor start, recovering to control a difficult race. Kimi Antonelli earned 9/10 with an excellent start and second place, proving Baku was a blip. Lewis Hamilton also got 9.5/10 after a superb recovery from 18th to the podium, passing Isack Hadjar after the final safety car.
Charles Leclerc took 8.5/10 for recovering to fourth after a tyre nightmare. Isack Hadjar impressed with 8.5/10 despite an engine penalty. Oscar Piastri (7.5/10) made the right early call to switch to intermediates and beat Lando Norris, who scored just 5.5/10 after losing control behind the safety car.
Liam Lawson (8.5/10) had one of his strongest races, gaining seven positions. Fernando Alonso (8/10) secured eighth for Aston Martin. Arvid Lindblad (8.5/10) charged from the back to score the final point. Nico Hulkenberg (7/10) recovered from 15th to just outside the points, while Lance Stroll (6.5/10) finished 12th.
Franco Colapinto (7/10) recovered from 21st to 13th. Oliver Bearman and Esteban Ocon both scored 5/10 for anonymous weekends. Pierre Gasly (5.5/10) had a strong qualifying but saw his race unravel early.
